Noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus

Abstract

Disclosed is a noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus. The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus includes a heat radiating structure, separated from a main body including a plurality of camera and a microphone, including at least one of a heat sink, a fan, a thermo-electric element, and a battery such that, without a noise and a vibration generated from the heat radiating structure affecting on a video quality, heats generated in the main body may be dissipated and cooled and a weight balance may be achieved for maintaining the main body at a level state.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus comprising:
 a main body including a plurality of cameras for generating omnidirectional image data, a microphone for acquiring omnidirectional sound data, and a heat collecting module for collecting heats generated from the plurality of cameras;   a heat radiating structure spaced apart from the main body, wherein the heat radiating structure radiates the heats collected by the heat collecting module; and   a connector for connecting the main body and the heat radiating structure, wherein the connector transfers the heats collected by the heat collecting module to the heat radiating structure.   
     
     
         2 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating structure as a noise source or a vibration source is spaced from the main body including the microphone for acquiring ambient sound data, such that the camera apparatus generates noiseless video data. 
     
     
         3 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the main body includes an image processing module for stitching the omnidirectional image data generated by the plurality of cameras to generate the video data. 
     
     
         4 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the main body includes heat transfer modules for transferring, to the heat collecting module, respectively the heats generated from the plurality of cameras arranged at a predetermined interval. 
     
     
         5 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heat radiating structure is spaced apart from the main body, wherein the heat radiating structure includes at least one of a heat sink, a fan, a thermo-electric element, and a battery, wherein the heat radiating structure is further constructed for achieving a weight balance such that the main body is maintained at a level state. 
     
     
         6 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the heat radiating structure includes a single heat radiating structure or a plurality of heat radiating structures. 
     
     
         7 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the heat radiating structure uses the heat sink and the fan to dissipate the heats collected in the main body. 
     
     
         8 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the heat radiating structure uses the heat sink and the thermo-electric element to cool the main body. 
     
     
         9 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the connector is in a form of a heat pipe, and transfers the heats collected by the heat collecting module to the heat radiating structure. 
     
     
         10 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the heat pipe includes:
 a heat input portion for sucking the heats collected by the heat collecting module;   an insulation portion for transferring the collected heats; and   a heat output portion for discharging the collected heats to the heat radiating structure,   wherein the collected heats move in and along an inner space defined in the pipe and the pipe has a heat insulating coating on an outer face.   
     
     
         11 . The noiseless omnidirectional camera apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a balancing actuator coupled to the connector,
 wherein the balancing actuator allows the heat radiating structure to pivot around an axis such that the main body moves while being maintained at an upright state.
